Would you be interested in joining up with other Mac users in Oman to set up an Oman Mac Users Group?

The goal of the user group is to begin as an informal group where members can get together occasionally and share experiences and advice regarding Macintosh platform. Eventually the group should set up an online presence and expand its membership and promote increased Mac usage in Oman. The group can leverage membership with the official Apple distributors in Oman to gain discounts on purchases for its members as well.

I forgot to add that we want to distribute Shufflegazine to Oman as well and we're happy to put news and information about any Oman Mac User Group in there, even covering the first meeting when it happens.

Just installed OSX 10.5.5 on my brand spanking new NC10. Looks really good. After some tweaking, almost everything works, including the native WiFi card (which has been pretty much impossible until those last few days).

The only things that don't work right now are brightness control from the function keys, automatic switching between the built-in speaker and the headphone jack (you have to run a manual switch script) Sleeping on AC power, and LAN.

Most of which should be sorted out in the next couple of weeks. Tomorrow, I give Windows 7 a shot.

P.S. typing this out in Safari. It's not bad on the mac, just on any other platform (y)
